Dave Meltzer reported in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter that the WWE is looking to use former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey as a way to make Stephanie McMahon a bigger mainstream star.
As noted, the sports entertainment company is reportedly working on putting together a Wrestlemania 34 match with the two on opposite sides. Meltzer wrote the following:
”As far as Rousey goes, the key item not really talked about is the goals and a major reason why she is there from a company standpoint. All the different questions about her value to the company financially I’m told are secondary.”
